Ancelotti will be forced to change the top as a result of Kylian Mbapping suspension. The Frenchman was sent to Alaves last week for a horrible challenge that somehow required a VAR intervention to see a red card produced.
Endrick is ready to increase the hosts, with the Madrid head so far reluctant to trust the young Brazilian in the league. The beginnings have arrived few and a lot among the teenager in the first year.
Brahim Diaz could replace Rodrygo on the right, while Fran Garcia should come to David Alaba. Federico Valverde will probably return to the right and coincide with Nico Williams.
In front of the injuries, the hosts continue without Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy.
Real Madrid predicted Vs Athletic Line (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger, Garcia; Tchouameni, Camavinga; Brahim, Bellingham, Vinicius; Endrick.
While Nico Williams starred in Athletic’s victory over Rangers on Thursday, his older brother, Inaki, was an unused replacement due to an adductor injury. The striker could play a role in Madrid, but a start is unlikely.
Visitors will be again without Yuri Berchiche again due to a beef problem, but they escaped the tie with the gers without fitness complaints.
The Spanish International Unai Simon is among the players ready to return to the XI of Valverde.
Athletic Predicted Fine Vs Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Simon; Gorosabel, Vivian, Paredes, Lekue; Jouregizar, Prados; Berenguer, Sancet, N Williams; Gurzeta.
The victory of Barcelona from the back of Saturday is a important psychological blow ahead of Athletic’s visit to the Bernabeu. Ancelotti’s men would have been affected by any result of Celtic in Catalonia, which seemed likely that much of the competition, but Flick’s side now seems to be the glory of the league.
Madrid was terrible on two legs against Arsenal and Athletic entered the Sunday device in good shape. They won Los Blancos on the reverse and will reap a rare victory in the capital.
The hosts are not able to control matches against impressive opposition, and Athletic will be very created, given the dynamics of their front line. However, the absence of MBAPPE will force the alternative superstaries of Madrid to increase, and the tastes of Vini Jr and Jude Bellingham could inspire the result for the hosts. A tie, however, is not ideal.
